Kia Spectra owners change the cabin filter element based on mileage, but this must be done twice a year - in spring and autumn. This will allow for better filtration of the cabin and avoid many negative consequences for the human body.

The video will tell and show how to change the cabin filter in a car, and will also tell you about some of the subtleties and nuances of the procedure.
Guarding clean air
Speaking in fact, driving a car with a worn or without cabin air filter is possible. This element does not affect the technical characteristics in any way. This is why many drivers don’t even bother replacing this part. However, the air contains several hundred harmful compounds that you breathe every time. The concentration of such substances is especially high in large cities and industrial zones. During a traffic jam, the following people enter the car interior:
- soot, soot and smoke;
- exfoliated microparticles of tires and asphalt pavement;
- compounds of zinc, copper, nickel and other heavy metals;
- hydrogen fluoride, oxides of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur;
- anti-anxiety drugs;
- spores and various microorganisms.
In high concentrations, toxic compounds can lead to headaches and even loss of consciousness. For asthmatics and allergy sufferers, ordinary pollen will become a real problem. Accordingly, your safety while driving directly depends on this cleaning element.
If you live in the city or regularly sit in traffic jams, it is imperative to change the Kia Spectra cabin filter. This way you will not only clean the air in the cabin, but also reduce dirt on the upholstery. Up to 10% of all dirt enters the car through the air ducts. A high-quality cabin filter element can handle 99.5% of small and large particles, so don’t underestimate its effectiveness.
Cabin filters are one of the cheapest parts, so saving on them is stupid. Driving without changing this component is dangerous for the ventilation system. The formation of stagnation can damage the air conditioner, the repair of which will cost a lot of money. In this regard, stinginess for 300-400 rubles will backfire.

Hello, what, can two fit in there at once? — I was thinking about the second one later... Should I use the pip towards myself or away from myself?
This is one filter, it's just double. Peep to yourself.
And here in the Moscow region there was no snow at all all winter. so I changed the filter for the second time in a year
Lucky. Today our weather is absolutely amazing) Instead of a car, there is a snowdrift on the street. Winter doesn't want to go away.
I also recently changed it, I don’t remember what I took, I gave it 150 rubles. I also sprayed everything with foam; to clean the Conder system, the can was enough for 3 times. You fill it with foam, turn the air conditioner on full blast, and wait. True, I did this at night before parking and left the windows slightly open, because... It smells terrible and hurts your eyes. But the next day, grace. Conder does not smell of stagnant water. PS We also had snow in Akhtubinsk.
I've never heard of such foam. Next time I might also buy something similar. In general, it would be worth cleaning there, however, the weather discouraged all desires) Speaking of the weather. It snowed all day and according to forecasts it will snow until 7 am (i.e. all night). Along the way you will have to walk for a couple of days
